The principal results of the Ad Hoc are as follows: * The project management reviews indicating the number of National Bodies that are active in each project were analyzed by the Ad Hoc. The Ad Hoc decided to recommend to JTC1 that any project with less than five active National Bodies (with certain exceptions) be canceled; if an SC is still interested in these projects, the SC can submit an NP for consideration and if approved, the project could then continue. The recommendations for project cancellation will be considered at the December JTC1 plenary. SC22 survived this test exceedingly well since almost all projects have at least five NBs participating. The only SC22 projects with less than five are the PCTE projects which were the result of fast-track balloting and an exception was made for fast-track situations. * The Ad Hoc recommended to JTC1 a reorganization of the SC structure. I am pleased to report that the recommendation is for SC22 to remain as is except for the addition of the language bindings work in SC24. Most of this work has been completed and some is being canceled so I expect that this will actually result in very little, if any, active project work in SC22. * The Ad Hoc recommended a new NP acceptance criteria be added to the NP process and requested NB review and comment by 1 December. * The Ad Hoc developed a proposed Business Plan Outline/Template for use by JTC1 and its SCs and requested NB review and comment by 1 December. * The Ad Hoc recommended a new statement of JTC1's scope, mission, goals and objectives for approval at the December JTC1 plenary. * The Ad Hoc is particularly interested in the development of market-oriented standards and felt that such standards are associated with key business areas. It developed a concept of "business teams" to analyze the business requirements for existing and new standards and specifications within key business areas. This concept will be proposed to the December JTC1 plenary. Further details will be contained in the report of the meeting which will be distributed by the SC22 Secretariat as soon as available. If you have comments on any of the output of this Ad Hoc, the most effective way to express it to JTC1 will be through your National Body. __________________ end of document SC22 N2331 __________________________
